Bowie, MD. Our crew at the National Capital Radio & Television Museum restores television sets for the Museum. We have done a CT-100 and some 1950s RCAs, Admirals, etc. On rare occasions we have restored TV sets for museum members, but we try to avoid it because there is SO MUCH labor involved that most museum members are unwilling to make a donation commensurate with the labor that it requires. We restore vacuum tube radios for members on a regular basis. radiobelanger at comcast dot net (1/3/15)
